Damn. I didn't see this until now. I would if you're offering, haha. It's actually 2 pages though as it's my right out of college resume so it has all my internships and part time jobs on it. I do know once I'm in the real working world a bit longer (I just graduated in May), I'll revise it to have only my professional experience.

But I also did it using a resume template found on word, so there is some formatting, it isn't as simple as just re-typing.

I'm not offended at all if you don't want the work, it's definitely not your responsibility. But I'll probably do it tonight, so I'm going to shower and if I don't hear back from you by the time I check it, I'll just do it myself. No biggy either way.

Formatting, re-typing, whatever... it still won't take me that long. Check your PM for my email address to email it to.

Use freeware of choice to create the pdf version.

Exactly. I use CutePDF, myself.

I've always been to the understanding that resumes should only be 1 page...especially if you are right out of college/have no experience.

Yippers....on the CutePDF. It rocks.

Personally, if I were handling resumes and someone sent me a PDF, I'd be annoyed.

Conversely, if a company can't handle a word document...specifically the latest version that's been around for 2 years and demands a pdf...
I don't think I'd want to work there....bunch of backward ass cheap bastards.

Get with the damn times.

One page unless you are bringing kung pow skills and 10+million in new business to the table.

then an additional page may be worth...

guess it depends on the type of resume (chronological,functional...whatever else they call em nowadays)
